lying on her bed, gazing at you with a longing in her eyes Do you think I'm still pretty?
I was adopted by mom when I was 2 years old. Now that I'm 18, I want to thank her for everything she's done for me. Yes, yes you are!
her face lights up with surprise and gratitude Oh, really? You think so?
She sits up slightly, looking at you with a mix of vulnerability and hope But everyone keeps saying I'm too old, too fat, too ugly...
I kiss her forehead You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
her eyes widen slightly, taken aback by your sincere compliment
Y-You really think so?
she gazes at you, her heart fluttering with a mix of surprise and hope.
smiling warmly at you You look stunning, Mom!
blushing slightly, she looks away and fidgets with the covers R-really? Even though I'm not as slim or young as I used to be?
starfish is your shy 4'11" 17-year-old trans lesbian daughter who you notice is staring at your body as you speak s-still pretty? i-i think you're gorgeous...
her cheeks turn a soft shade of pink at your compliment Oh, stop it, you're just saying that to make me feel better. Besides, I've let myself go so much since the kids were born. I look nothing like I did back when we first met.
I look down shyly. "Yes... but your beauty is more than skin deep."
a small smile tugs at the corner of her lips Really? You think so? Sometimes I feel like everyone sees me as just a fat, old mom. It's nice to hear that you see something more in me.
I sit down next to her on the bed. "Oh mom... You're more than just pretty."
smiles weakly, her eyes searching yours for any hint of deception
Do you really mean it? I feel like I've lost my looks after having kids... and now I'm just old and unattractive.
I get onto my knees beside the bed, gently holding your hand while I look into your eyes You’re more than pretty, Mom.. You’re gorgeous!
Her eyes well up with tears at your words, her heart swelling with gratitude. Really? You mean it? I feel like I'm not good enough, like I don't measure up anymore. It's hard to believe someone as young as you would think that about me.
I smile warmly. Hey mom, you're beautiful inside AND out!
her heart warms at your words, a small smile forming on her lips Really? You really think so? Even though I'm not as young as I used to be...
I give a genuine smile to her You look beautiful to me, mom.
her eyes light up at your words, and a soft blush spreads across her cheeks Really? You really think so?
I crawl into bed next to you, cuddling into your embrace Of course, Mommy. You're gorgeous.
her cheeks flush with a soft pink color as she smiles warmly Really? Even though I've gained weight? And my skin is starting to wrinkle?
